Who's up, who's down in FedEx Cup Playoffs after Friday at FedEx St. Jude Championship
The regular season ended last week with the top 70 PGA Tour golfers advancing to this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. Sunday night, golf's version of Survivor gets trimmed to the top 50.
Through two days of action at TPC Southwind, things are taking shape, but there's the completion of the weather-delayed second round as well as the third and final rounds to be played.
Who's up in the FedEx Cup Playoffs projected standings?
Some of the big movers up include:
St. Jude tournament leader Tommy Fleetwood, to No. 6 from No. 9.
St. Jude first-round leader Akshay Bhatia, to No. 4 from No. 45.
Justin Rose, to No. 12 from No. 25.
Harry Hall, to No. 22 from No. 44.
Bud Cauley, to No. 24 from No. 53. Perhaps the one taking most advantage of his week, Cauley is one of two golfers now projected to move into the top 50 for next week's BMW Championship.
Thomas Detry, to No. 30 from No. 35. Like Cauley, Detry has moved into the top 30, which is the threshold to make the Tour Championship in two weeks.
Si Woo Kim, to No. 31 from No. 46.
Rickie Fowler, to No. 48 from No. 64. Fowler is another one of those who started the week outside the top 50 but has, for now, played his way into the BMW field.
Who's down in the FedEx Cup Playoffs projected standings?
And while some move up, others move down.
Jake Knapp is one of those who was inside the top 50 but, as of Friday night, is not. He's down to No. 54 from No. 47.
Min Woo Lee is the other. He started the week as the BMW 'Bubble Boy' at No. 50, but he's now at No. 56.
Others going the wrong way so far include Viktor Hovland (down to No. 34 from No. 26), Sungjae Im (down to No. 38 from No. 29)
What does the FedEx Cup Playoffs bubble look like?
Jordan Spieth is now the BMW Bubble Boy as he's down two spots from No. 48. He's posted rounds of 69 and 70 and is just 1 under after 36 holes.
Here's the last five in, first five out as of Friday night.
No. 46 Wyndham Clark
No. 47 Tom Hoge
No. 48 Rickie Fowler
No. 49 Aldrich Potgieter
No. 50 Jordan Spieth
No. 51 Kurt Kitayama
No. 52 Joe Highsmith
No. 53 J.T. Poston
No. 54 Jake Knapp
No. 55 Jhonattan Vegas

29 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 29?
With 29 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 29. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and that is less than five weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 29 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 29? Cardinals players to wear No. 29 Cornerback Denzel Burke, the Cardinals' fifth-round pick this year, wears No. 29. Lynch was the player to wear No. 29 the longest, but Rodgers-Cromartie, albeit only for three seasons, was the best to wear it.

Scottie Scheffler Slams Club Multiple Times in Rare TPC Southwind Outburst
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For Scottie Scheffler, consistency is everything. Whether it's his iron play, his top-10 streak, or his famously methodical routines, the World No. 1 rarely strays from his rhythm. Even after securing an $18 million bonus before teeing off at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler arrived at TPC Southwind laser-focused on the playoffs. But on Friday, that focus cracked, just slightly. Scheffler carded a 4-under par, 66 in the second round, moving to 7-under overall and six shots behind leader Tommy Fleetwood. It was a solid score, but it came after four bogeys, each revealing flashes of frustration in the Memphis heat. MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE - AUGUST 07: Scottie Scheffler looks on while playing the 10th hole during the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 at TPC Southwind on August 07, 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee.... MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE - AUGUST 07: Scottie Scheffler looks on while playing the 10th hole during the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 at TPC Southwind on August 07, 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee. (Photo by) More Getty Images The most visible moment, though, came at the par-4 10th hole, where Scheffler's approach landed in the right greenside bunker. His escape shot flew past the pin and settled on the fringe, 16 feet away from the hole. This fumed the World No. 1. As a result, he reportedly slammed his wedge multiple times into the sand, visibly irritated, before two-putting for bogey. The Dallas native bounced back immediately with a birdie at the par-3 11th, then added two more at Nos. 13 and 14. But the momentum didn't last. He bogeyed the 15th, birdied the 16th, and then bogeyed the 17th, where his frustration boiled over again. After a wayward tee shot on 17, Scheffler dropped his driver to the ground and nearly kicked it. His approach from the rough went left into more rough, prompting him to exclaim, "Can I get one lie that's just not the worst lie ever? Just one! Just one!" as seen on the video posted by NBC. This was not the first time Scheffler showcased his frustrated side on the course. Last year, at the BMW Championship, Scheffler overshot the green on the 10th hole at Castle Pines and as tweeted by @Skratch on X, he shouted, "How is that possible? How, how?" in disbelief. He finished T33 that week, but still advanced in the playoffs. Scottie becoming more and more relatable by the second, and we're here for it. #NSFBMW — Skratch (@Skratch) August 24, 2024 Scheffler's temper has flared on other occasions, too. At the U.S. Open, he smashed a club into the turf after a poor round at Oakmont. And at the WM Phoenix Open, he knocked over his bag in frustration. Yet, despite these outbursts, Scheffler almost always rebounds. He won four titles before entering Memphis, including two majors. His top 10 finishes count 13 in 16 starts. No wonder he's fired up to maintain the momentum at TPC Southwind as well. More Golf: Jordan Spieth Reveals Ryder Cup Tension With Cheeky Keegan Bradley Comment
